J Mart return to racing on Kawasaki

Believe it when I see it 

Didn't he tell Matthes he has one more pro race left in him, and it's going to be where it all started for him? 


I don't think he wants anything to do with a 450. 

You better not be playing with my emotions!

Jeremy did say on a podcast recently… I think Pulp, that he would like to do another race if everything is right.  

PC kawasaki?

Would be cool to see...

I always wanted to see him on a factory 450 for just one summer. The guys he's beaten on a 250 include all the big names Webb, Musquin, Baggett, Osborne, Plessinger, Ferrandis, JCoop, AC, you name it. 

Always been a big J Mart fan would love to see him have a good final 250 season. My heart broke when he was on FC Honda and got injured horribly right at the start of the race. Then he went to Yamaha and it was great watching him battle Jett and Shimoda.

Rather see him finally give it a go on a 450. He's done it all on a 250 outdoors 

I saw 180 (Bryar) post this as an ad for the vented plate graphics. Then I started thinking how he is friends with the Martins, this bike has a 6 with the Pro MX banner etc. And those wheels were turning in my head lol. Would be great to see.

I took the interview on pulp as he is going to do Millville this summer and that will be his final race.

After his last concussion his Doctors told him he better not have another one or there could be some serious repurcussions. 

If I were a betting man I would wager you seen him line up for Millville on a KX450 if all goes well. Sponsored by Jason Anderson?

I'd love to see it but also think that ship has sailed unfortunately

That would be strange to see him on a green bike considering he works for STAR.

Yeah, I was gonna say… It sounds like he’s gonna race Millville and considering he’s doing the VIP experience for STAR and has raced for them in the past, I would assume if a team is gonna give him a bike for the weekend it’s going to be them. 

If it was just 1 weekend then yeah, maybe Star gives him a bike. But if there was some sort of opportunity to race through someone else, whether it's PC Kawi or whatever, I can't imagine him doing VIP tours for Star is going to keep him from taking that opportunity. And I don't see Star actually having him race for their team for the summer, so him currently working there really shouldn't have any bearing on anything, should an opportunity present itself. Not saying it is, but I just think his current role at Star is insignificant.

Except when Jimmy D was doing Star VIP and came back he rode a KTM- 

Do you know him personally or something because that vastly different than what he has said publicly. The doctors told him he needed time for his brain to heal. Obviously if he got a concussion during this time it would be worse than normal but he has never said publicly doctors told him what you said. You are implying doctors indicate if he ever had another concussion it would be worse than normal. 

One last ride for J-Mart. 450 class, Millville.

The brain can only take so many hits before it doesn’t come back. Is he really going to risk his future for 1 last chance at glory? How long since his last gate drop? He has nothing to prove, I hope he’s surrounded by people who will talk some sense into him. 

J-Mart was my favorite rider for a while. It was awesome when he came out of virtually nowhere to beat the breaks off of everyone in the opening rounds of the 2014 season.

It would be cool to see him give it another go(assuming he's still even remotely competitive). Even if it was only for a round or 2.

Imagine him doing the VIP tour in the morning,  then walking over to the PC truck in his Star uniform and going into the rig and coming out in the Fox PC gear , race his moto ,go back to Star between his moto's to help the VIP's .   I know timeline wise it doesn't work. I just pictured it in my mind , like it was being shown on the race coverage .  

This is the content I opened Vital for

If Jeremy lines up on the family track it's only fitting that Alex lines up with him.  Cool.

“I was definitely one foot in one foot out when I left," Martin said. "I still have that dog in me, I lost that dog in me and part of this endeavor this summer was to find it again. And through getting healthy, and basically the training that has kind of been my therapy, I was like, ‘You’re not in a good spot right now. Let’s focus and get in the best shape of your life right now. Let’s do this bucket list thing, Leadville [100-mile mountain bike race], and let’s not make an emotional decision.’ So, if the right opportunity comes around on the right bike, I’d have a hard time saying no to it. I found that dog in me, and I miss it. Racing is like a drug for sure.”

That was 5 months ago. If he's healthy he's racing. No way a guy who talks about having that dog in him, racing being a drug, etc who is at every race watching guys he's beaten do it is going to stay away. I rip on the sport as much as anyone for how they handle head injuries but it sounds like last one shook him enough that he took the time and recovered well.

He should race in Canada 🇨🇦 

Does Star do the VIP Experience outdoors?

At this point, he would be absolutely lucky to crack the top 10

Looking forward to the interview about how he had to become a UPS delivery driver to make ends meet. It will be the updated version on working the counter at the dealership.
